    Endovascular Therapy for Acute Ischemic Stroke: A Comprehensive Review of Current Status

    No full text
    Stroke remains among the leading causes of disability and death worldwide. Fibrinolytic therapy is associated with poor patency and functional outcomes. Recently, multiple randomized trials have been published that have consolidated the role of endovascular therapy for ischemic stroke due to large vessel occlusion in the anterior cerebral circulation. This manuscript reviews the current understanding of the endovascularmanagement of acute stroke including technical aspects and current evidence base. (c) 2018 Published by Elsevier Inc
